Catherine McCague, HR Specialist at Teagasc
Teagasc, through its People Leadership and Change Strategy, recognised the need to facilitate the development of existing and future leaders. Irish Management Institute (IMI) partnered with Teagasc to develop a programme that focuses on:

Driving and empowering leadership culture at all levels of the organisation

Equipping leaders with an excellent understanding of the meaning of their leadership role

Providing an identifiable set of leadership competencies

Enabling high autonomy and demonstrated self leadership

Fostering the belief that they can achieve high impact outcomes for the organisation

Through a series of projects focusing on organisational challenges, the organisation is now improving the effectiveness of the Adviser/Farmer relationship and thereby improving technology transfer and adoption. The programme also achieved improved engagement between advisors and clients and an improvement in communication and collaboration across the geographically dispersed Teagasc teams.

They developed a customised, accredited, ‘Leadership Development Programme’ focuses on driving an empowering leadership culture at all levels of the organisation; equipping leaders with an excellent understanding of the meaning of their leadership role; develops an identifiable set of leadership competencies; cultivates high autonomy and demonstrates self-leadership and the belief that they can achieve high impact outcomes for the organisation.

This Breakfast Seminar represents an opportunity for us as learning and Development professionals to learn from each and to recognise the contribution learning and development can make to organisations.
